Bai Guanghe was busy with official duties and reuniting with friends in the Capital, yet he was unaware that his wife was constantly mistreated at home, to the point that even the maids dared to bully her. Jiao Yunyun was a heroine, not a pushover, so she naturally fought back. As a result, the Bai elders found her even more vulgar and unbearable, leading to unending conflicts.
Bai Guanghe was a scholar, nurtured since childhood on the Four Books and Five Classics, and the principles of rites and filial piety. Although he did not blame his wife, he also could not bring himself to go against his parents' wishes. Caught between the two, he ended up hurting Jiao Yunyun's heart.
